Colorado, crap place for bugging out to.

[Great-Kazoo]

I'd say the area I'm in is good for bugging out. Lowes is right by my apartment so easy access to some building supplies (nails, screws, etc) Jax and Sportsman aren't fair either to raid for some gear/ammo. After that I'm heading west into the foothills and gradually into the mountains once I have enough non perishable food stashed away. I'd say the biggest threat in Loveland would be refugee's from Fort Collins, or the nutter skin heads here in Loveland lol.

Greeley is a prime target for livestock is you got to feed a large group.

With what I'm armed with the foothills/mountains will best suit me because I have firearms generally suited for long range.

Doesn't mean anything if it cannot go through a 12" diameter tree. Cause that's what the smart ones returning fire, will be using as cover.
The "threat" can and will come from anywhere. Mob mentality will be the driving force of the people. Ft Fun clashes with loveland, wellington, anywhere the mob goes it absorbs the weaker of the 2 sides, festers and grows.
Throw in some charismatic person and the trouble / threat factor grows, perhaps very fast. There is no place here, or anywhere, determined people who have not given up the will to live might appear.

Jax, lowes 1st place the mob will be en mass. Anywhere there is the hope for tool to survive the people will go. Hell there will be people who have no clue that will be there too. Why? because that's where the mob is going.

After you read 1 second after (if you haven't already) read Lights Out.

I agree the mobs will be bad. I've done enough hiking in the foothills to spot out some temporary geocache spots in case things fall apart.

Obviously if something like an EMP went off over night while I was sleeping that wouldn't really work out for me but if I had a feeling stuff was heading downhill in a few weeks I'd take advantage of a geocache. I mean think about it, people can only carry so much ammo and supplies with them at a time. If you can spread those supplies in geocaches or burried on a path to your general area you'll be evacuating you'll be better off.

I'd rely on a vehicle to get to a certain point, either I run out of gas or room on the road or just not safe to drive and rely more on walking on foot or bicycle.
